At the Wikiversity Film School, students work on a very short motion picture called "Seduced by the Dark Side!". The movie takes place outside a movie theater.
The story is simple. After seeing the motion picture "Star Wars", a young person asks an older person, "How can anyone be seduced by the dark side?" The older person explains this to the young person by giving him a useful example.
Currently, the students are working on pre-production (including storyboarding with FrameForge 3D Studio.)
Later, the movie will be filmed... but NOT in front of a theater. Instead the theater will be created with a matte painting. We cannot afford to fly to the most fabulous motion picture theater in the world and do the filming there. Instead, the students will paint the most fabulous movie theater in the world in the area where the actors are not.
This means that we can film our movie almost anywhere. All we need is a blank wall which is 3 meters high and at least 10 meters long.
Therefore, I have created a simple movie set which matches these requirements. It is simply a wall with lots of movie posters hanging on the wall. Students can change the color of the wall.
Attached is the basic movie set consisting of one wall, one building block which is the sidewalk and six picture frames containing the movie poster.
The movie poster is also attached. Students can substitute their own movie poster for the movie "Star Wars" which is a key element in the story.
Download the movie set and the texture for the movie poster. Tell me what you think? Can you create this storyboard (as an example for our students?)
